Joe Letteri is the man behind some of the most eye-popping visual effects of the last two decades. Steven Spielberg turned to Letteri to help him design the dinosaurs for Jurassic Park and James Cameron relied on him to create the Na’vi in Avatar. Peter Jackson hired him as visual effects supervisor for Weta Digital 11 years ago, and in that time, Letteri has created Gollum for The Lord of the Rings, the title character in King Kong, and Caesar in Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
